I was sawing firewood today and happened to have my excavator with thumb handy so I tried something new. I picked up a log and held it in the air at convenient sawing height and just walked down the log sawing it into blocks. Very fast and worked great, sawed 7-8 cords in a little over an hour. This was far faster than my usual methods of either sawing the log most of the way and rolling it and then finishing the cuts or blocking up the log and dealing with pinching the bar.
